FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous way to transmit content to a web hosting account. With FTP software that is pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can make a connection to your hosting server and copy all the web files that you want with a few mouse clicks. This is done via a simple-to-navigate interface and it is as simple as dragging & dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you can set up several accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you would like to provide someone with access, for example – a web designer, they’ll be able to access only one particular folder and won’t be able to access the remaining web content or any other information, such as private details. You need three prerequisites to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is usually a domain name or an IP, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

Setting up and administering numerous FTP accounts will be amazingly easy with each of our Linux cloud hosting packages. This service isn’t restricted, so with our simple-to-work-with Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many accounts as you need to, in order to manage your sites and to get your web-related tasks done. If you hire a web designer and they are done with the site, for example, you can edit the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with only one single click of the mouse through the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you’ll be able to see a list of all the accounts that you have set up and the directories that they can access. Useful options such as updating the access path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for widespread FTP client applications are also just one mouse click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a separate FTP account for each one of them, since we haven’t set a limit on this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated server packages. You can do this through the FTP section of our easy-to-work-with Hepsia Control Panel where you can also check the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created, along with the folder that each one of them can access. If needed, you will be able to edit the password for a given account or to modify its access path with a few clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account effortlessly if you do not require it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a web designer who’s finished with the site and you do not want them to access your web files anymore. For your convenience, we’ve selected different instructional videos, which will help you manage your FTP accounts without effort in case you have never used a website hosting service previously.
